Ukrainian Artists in Paris is the first detailed look at the contribution of artists from Ukraine to the phenomenon known as the “School of Paris” (French: École de Paris). Many artists from Ukraine were living and working in Paris at the same time as Picasso, Modigliani and Chagall. The book features works by Alexander Archipenko, Mykhailo Boichuk, Sonia Delaunay, Sophia Lewitska, Vladimir Baranoff-Rossiné, and Hannah Orloff who were active in Paris in the early 20th Century. In the early 1920s they were joined by Alexis Gritchenko (Oleksa Hryshchenko), Mykhailo Andriienko, Vasyl Khmeliuk, and many others. Some artists achieved fame, others are long since forgotten. The book’s appendix includes a dictionary of Ukrainian artists in Paris featuring more than 250 individuals, as well as a chronology of Ukrainian events in Paris for the period of 1900-1939.
